Great Space Robot Festival for a Better World

Sugar Foot is a song from the album Juice B Crypts by the New York-based experimental rock duo Battles, which exhibited in Art Space I during C-LAB Future Media Arts Festival. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, has led to worldwide lockdowns. The members of Battles invited Taiwanese experimental rock/folk band Prairie WWWW to perform it, accompanied by the unique vocals of Jon ANDERSON, the lead singer of the avant-garde rock group Yes. Images were developed by the Japanese animation team AC-bu, which has contributed to the POP TEAM EPIC anime series. Together, they created the “Great Space Robot Festival,” a robot uprising bringing revenge for the festivals, events, and performances that have been cancelled or delayed due to the pandemic, in hopes that this pandemic will soon end, giving way to the creation of a better world.

About

Cultural experimentation anticipates a disobedient attitude that facilitates cultural reversion and creative collision. When experiments become an attitude, a wide spectrum of cultural initiatives and fresh paths will unfold and extend like water, shock, sonic, light, or electric waves.

C-LAB hopes to showcase the cultures of contemporary creators, makers, sharers and participants to nurture a fresh ecology of cultural creation, which emerges as a cloud sharing platform for all contemporary readers, utilizing humanistic digital technologies while incorporating contemporary art perspectives as well as cultural observation to introduce innovation into society through culture.

CLABO, an online journal published by C-LAB, aims to create confluences of cultural creators and serve as a community platform for all partners of cultural experiment projects. With unprecedented cultural experiments, we have started bravely venturing into the future!
